Title Track From Morrissey's Fantastic New Album Enjoy


Intro:
D Bm A# A


Verse 1:
D      Bm   F#
I am not a dog on a chain
A#      A
I use my own brain
D   Bm          A#
I can turn the conversation off
           A
I'm too clever to be robbed
D     Bm    A#
I am not a dog on a chain
        A
Thanks all the same
D        Bm     A#
I have patience and I have time
         A
Both of which are mine

Refrain:
     G       A
I hear a call, I hear a cry
  A#       C
I raise my voice, I have no choice
  G         A
I raise my hand, I hammer twice
  A#       F
I see no point in being nice


Verse 2:
D      Bm
I am not a dog on a chain
  A#    A
I use my own brain
 D       Bm
I do not read newspapers
A#       A
They are troublemakers
D        Bm         A#
Listen out for what's not shown to you
              A
And there you'll find the truth
   D     Bm       A#
For in a civilized and careful way
               A
They'll sculpture all your views


Refrain:
   G      A
So open up your nervous mouth
       A#          C
And feel the words come streaming out
  G         A
In volume, pitch and rising cries
 A#          C
Opening your blinkered eyes
   G          A
For otherwise, you'll never know
     A#   C        G
Who you are or all that you can do
     A        A#
If you want to, if you want to
       C
If you want to

D  C   A#  A  D  C  A#  A


Verse 3:
D      Bm     A#
I am not a dog on a chain
          A
You've got to be insane
 D     Bm        A#
One is company and two is a crowd
         A
And crowds are loud


Refrain:
    G         A
Oh, maybe I'll be skinned alive
      A#           C
By Canada Goose because of my views
         G         A
Because of the truth, because of my fleece
          A#        C
Because of my niece, like drinking ink, the
    G
words explode
       A          A#
Fatter than fists, louder than blows
       C          G
Fatter than fists, louder than blows
        A         A#
The dead are dead, ice cold and hard
               C
To where they can't be overcharged
     G         A
They have no breath, they have no eyes
    A#           C
At least they won't be going twice

D  C   A#  A  D  C  A#  A


Outro:

They have no breath, they have no eyes

At least they won't be going twice
